Jeep introduces new capped-price servicing plans for 2020 SUVs

When powered by a petrol engine, the Wrangler is now $500 cheaper to service over the first five visits.

Jeep Australia has introduced new capped-price servicing plans for its range of MY20 SUVs as part of its strategy to “enhance customer trust”.

All but one of the capped-price servicing plans are cheaper than before after Jeep Australia “worked extremely hard to analyse and intricately understand the capped-price servicing models in the Australian market to build a compelling and competitive offer”.

While the Compass small SUV is available with petrol and diesel engines, both cost the same to service over their first five visits, at $1995, which is $600 less than before.

It’s a similar story for the Cherokee mid-size SUV, which is offered with two petrol engines that now cost $1995 to service (-$655).

The Wrangler off-roader is available with petrol and diesel engines, with the former now costing $1995 to service (-$500), while the latter is the exception to the rule, unchanged at $1995.

The Grand Cherokee large SUV’s 3.6-litre and 5.7-litre petrol engines both now cost $1995 to service, down $600 and $1020 respectively.

The flagship’s 3.0-litre diesel and 6.2-litre petrol engines are more expensive to service, at $2995 (-$1290) and $3995 (-$1370), but get the biggest savings.

Service intervals for the petrol engines listed above are every 12 months or 12,000km, whichever comes first, while their diesel counterparts can travel 20,000km between visits.

“I believe a successful aftersales business is key to delivering an end-to-end customer experience for Jeep owners, and we are committed to enhancing what we offer our customers in this regard, starting with the 2020 capped-price servicing program,” said recently appointed Jeep Australia boss Kevin Flynn.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
